binging and purging

i was just wondering if anyone ever wants to KILL their mirrors? i hate mine. i want to smash them. i literally look like i weigh 200+ pounds. people tell me i'm thin as a rail, but I DON'T SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrr. i don't know how to express how maddening this is. also, does anyone else lose weight by binging and purging? i'm technically b/p anorexic, but it still feels like bulimia to me. has anyone ever made the cross from bulimia to anorexia? i feel like i'm going nuts. i feel so alone. ahhhh

sorry guys! thanks for putting up with my nonsense. thanks for letting me get it out!

Hey..... you are soooo not alone. For years I truly saw myself as fat when everyone around me told me i was tooooo thin. what the hell did they know? Trust me, others are right and you are not seeing yourself for you really are (in more ways than one). I was anorexic for almost 8 years and in and out of hospitals and actually learned how to be bulimic in one of my treatment programs. It seemed more socially acceptable to eat in public so everyone would stop harrassing me to eat and then secretly throw up. It was great. Now i do it everyday... all the time. It's exhausting. I thinnk i still am anorexic with a twist of bulimia. I am able to see the &quot;real&quot; me in my mirror now and i am too thin but sadly... I want to be toooo thin. So anyway... i know it is possible to be a combination of disorders and if it is any consolation.... you are not alone.

I hate mirrors to...but they seem to be everywhere...especially in bathrooms...Every imperfection is magnified 10000 times...I get a rush of self-loathing everytime I look at myself...I look at other people as they walk by and wish I had their reflection and not mine.

Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
